 Part B. Please solve the following problems using pen and showing all the steps of your
solution in a clear tidy way. 22
1. A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of 400 m/s is fired into and passes through a 1.00-kg
block, as in Figure down. The block, initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface, is connected
to a spring of force constant 900 N/m. If the block moves 5.00 cm to the right after impact.
a) Find the speed at which the bullet emerges from the block, (5 Points)
b) Find the mechanical energy converted into internal energy in the collision, (3 Points)

Sol.) Part A

* For Block: (Conservation of Energy)

1/2*m*v^2=1/2*k*x^2

1/2*m*v^2=1/2*k*x^2

m*v^2=k*x^2

v^2=k*x^2/m

v=sqrt(k*x^2/m)= 1.5 m/s

* Conservation of Momentum: (b=bullet, B=Block)

m_b*v_b+m_B*v_B=m_b*v_b+m_B*v_B

m_b*v_b+0=m_b*v_b+m_B*v_B

=> v_b=100m/s

Part B

E_int = E_i - E_f

E_int=1/2*m_b*v_b^2 + 1/2*m_B*v_B^2 - 1/2*m_b*v'_b^2 - 1/2*m_B*v'_B^2

E_int=1/2*m_b*v_b^2 + 0 - 1/2*m_b*v'_b^2 - 1/2*m_B*v'_B^2

E_int = -373.875 J

 2. A cylinder with moment of inertia I1 rotates about a vertical, frictionless axle with angular velocity
𝜔 . A second cylinder, this one having moment of inertia I2 and initially not rotating, drops onto the
first cylinder (Figure down). Because of friction between the surfaces, the two eventually reach the
same angular velocity 𝜔 .
a) Calculate 𝜔 . (4 Points)
b) Show that the kinetic energy of the system de-creases in this interaction and calculate the
ratio of the final to the initial rotational energy. (5 Points)

Sol.) Part A

I_1*w_i+I_2*w_i=I_1*w_f+I_2*w_f

I_1*w_i+0=w_f(I_1+I_2)

w_f= I_1*w_i/(I_1+I_2)

Part B

K_f= 1/2*w_f^2(I_1+I_2)

= 1/2*(I_1*w_i/(I_1+I_2))^2(I_1+I_2)

1/2*(I_1*w_i)^2/(I_1+I_2)

K_i= 1/2*I_1*w_i^2

=> K_f/K_i

= (I_1*w_i)^2/(I_1+I_2)/I_1*w_i^2

= I_1^2*w_i^2/(I_1+I_2)(I_1*w_i^2)

= I_1/(I_1+I_2) which is < 1

3. One end of a uniform 4.00-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable. The other end rests
against the wall, where it is held by friction, as in Figure down. The coefficient of static friction
between the wall and the rod is 𝜇 0.500. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at
which an additional weight Fg (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the
rod to slip at point A. (HINT: the reaction force from the wall on the beam “n” is horizontaly and to
the right). (8 Points)
